Way too tedious for words....I couldn't bear to even get through the second episode. From this la-tee-dah opus it becomes clear that the girls must have created their ravishingly purple fiction because they were just so BORED they just had to write their way out of it. And how Michael Kitchen survived his portrayal of Branwell is quite beyond me. The fact that his subsequent career is built upon understatement simply has to be a result of embarrassment. And to THINK that I missed an additional 3 and a half hours of this. PHEW!
